\u201cProviding feedback to my team to improve work (ethics) gets harder, as more seem to have checked out. They disengage, only do their job.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The other day a team-lead opened up to me, telling about this leadership challenge.\u00a0<\/span>On top, it seems that especially the younger workforce shows more of this behavior.*<\/span><\/p>\n

As I met other team-leads the days after, I checked in on that matter: Sadly, all of them agreed!<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc More and more employees seem to have no interest in sharing what they think or need, even when asked by their boss.
\n<\/span>\ud83d\udccc They stick to their basic job, and disconnect from any other team or company matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

And even though the younger workforce might show more of this behavior, others start to show it too.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

What now?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\ud83d\udca1 Double down on meaning. \u2014 Having clarity on one\u2019s current meaning within a job, team and company is a strong prompt and helps strive for a positive work ethic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca1 Double down on healthy relationships. \u2014 Being the boss many times feels more like \u201cbeing a coach\u201d. To guide a team-member well, trust has to be created and nourished.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca1 Double down on emotional intelligence and mental health. \u2014 Our society creates too much stimulation. With increasing workload and other responsibilities in life, more people feel overwhelmed. But instead of facing the root causes of their issues (negative emotions, eg. fear), many people tend to disengage. They become avoidant (not facing the unpleasant) as that feels easier to do. They become victimized (not stepping into self-care but self-pity) as that feels easier to do. Etc. This mental self-sabotage makes them disengaged.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

If these steps stress you as a team-lead, I\u2018m here to support you \u2014 as positive thinking and leadership can change this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply ship me an email to hi@evagruber.org<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

*Note: This shall not be a generalization or generic judgment at all, as I know plenty of young workforce being eager to engage, learn and create together.<\/span><\/p>\n
